Hauser & Wirth’s gallery in H Queen’s and its other spaces around the world are temporarily closed, but the gallery has launched a series of online exhibitions and films on its website so that everyone can access art from home.

The second of its online exhibitions is George Condo: Drawings for Distanced Figures, which features works made in the last three weeks in the American artist’s home studio in New York state, where he is isolating himself during the pandemic. Although the works explore feelings including fear, paranoia and claustrophobia, Condo admits that working in isolation does have its benefits. ‘I love to draw and in the usual context of privacy, one doesn’t think of the term isolation or forced separation, rather it’s a space to create without being watched.’

Hauser & Wirth has also launched the philanthropic initiative #artforbetter, through which it will donate 10 per cent of its profits from online exhibitions to the Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund for WHO.

The temporary closure of its galleries around the world has disrupted many scheduled exhibitions, but Gagosian is making sure its artists' work isn't going unseen. 

Gagosian's online Artist Spotlight initiative highlights works by artists that were due to be exhibited in its galleries around the world before the Covid-19 pandemic forced them to shuts their doors. Many of these artists have been working for months—and in some cases years—on these bodies of work. 

American installation artist Sarah Sze, known for creating multimedia landscapes from found objects, British painter Jenny Saville and postmodernist photographer Roe Ethridge are just three of the many artists who will be featured. 

Every Wednesday Gagosian will introduce one artist before presenting one work by that artist on Friday, which will be exhibited on Gagosian's website with pricing information for 48 hours. Video interviews and essays will also be uploaded to give insight into each artist's practice. 

From April 8. Find out more at gagosian.com

Works by the late Chinese-French abstract painter Chu Teh-Chun and rising star of Hong Kong's art scene Andrew Luk can be seen in person this month at De Sarthe Gallery. 

Originally intended to be shown at Art Basel in Hong Kong, Luk's work is a large-scale installation titled Haunted, Salvaged, which takes the form of a series of large-scale mobiles that hang above sculptures positioned on the floor.

Although Luk works in very different media to Chu, they both explore the relationships between humans and nature in their work.

The destruction of Kenya’s natural environment is shown in devastating detail in English photographer Nick Brandt’s series Inherit the Dust, which can be seen in person at Blue Lotus Gallery in Sheung Wan. Brandt travelled around the country photographing portraits of animals, which he then turned into life-size prints that are glued onto large panels and strategically placed around towns and cities – spaces where wildlife used to roam. The final images show these panels in situ, surrounded by pollution.

March 15 to April 22. G/F, 28 Pound Lane, Sheung Wan. Find out more at bluelotus-gallery.com
